Yang Daiqiang's training class in the morning is "fighting".
Class starts at 9: 00, and I have been practicing until 1 1, and I have never had any legs from beginning to end. As a male member of China Women's Taekwondo Team and a sparring partner of Beijing Olympic champion Wu Jingyu, Yang Daiqiang abides by his duty. There is no conversion between offensive and defensive, and it is meaningless. The young man wore protective gear and cooperated with Xiaoyu's pace and movements to "come" majestically. The latter is also impolite, shouting "hey" and "ha" and kicking the protective gear "bang".
Yang Daiqiang, a native of Henan, practiced martial arts and spent three years in Shaolin Temple. In 2005, he changed to Taekwondo and won the fifth place in the national competition. Last year, when the national team was preparing for the Asian Games, he was selected as the sparring partner of Jiangsu team Wu Jingyu. Later, Xiaoyu won the championship easily in Guangzhou.
The first full-time sparring of the women's team began in 2006, and all the male members of the local team followed the training, with good results. After winning the gold medal in the 2008 Olympic Games, Wu Jingyu said that he was used to bearing the strength of boys at ordinary times, and he was beaten by his opponent during the competition. Moreover, I often compete with male players, and my legs are stronger, which makes people unbearable.
Hitting people is skillful and risky. In the face of Xiaoyu's world-class chopping, Yang Daiqiang, who could have dodged with his steps, just turned his head, blocked it with his arm wearing protective gear, and actually got caught. During the break, after listening to the coach's instructions, Xiaoyu wanted to find a feeling. After turning around, he kicked Yang Daiqiang in the stomach. The latter was unguarded and was pushed several meters away, lying on the ground clutching his stomach. The frightened Xiaoyu quickly stepped forward and bowed with his fist, apologizing.
"Practicing with her is to let her find the feeling of hitting the ball and let her catch her opponent during the game." Yang Daiqiang, who has recovered, said that he was beaten in the head and abdomen during training, and he never hid or even defended with all his strength. "That was really licking my face and my nose was kicked and bleeding several times." Liu Keng, Wu Jingyu's sparring partner preparing for the Beijing Olympic Games, recalled that he was dumbfounded at that time. "Once Mao hit the back of the head, the whole person suddenly became black."
You can't fight back, but you can talk back. Just like Wu Jingyu would shout every time he hit the protective gear, Yang Daiqiang also shouted with high spirits. "Before I was in Jiangsu, I practiced in general and had little energy. After coming to accompany Xiaoyu, I gained more passion. " Yang Daiqiang proudly said that the partners who used to practice martial arts together were envious when they heard that they were sparring with Olympic champions. "You can learn a lot in the national team, and exercise is very valuable. I definitely wanted to win a gold medal when I practiced sports, but I was a little unwilling when I first became a sparring partner. But entering the national team is also the dream of professional athletes. Although I can't participate in the Olympic Games, I am honored and proud to participate in this way. "
Partner training is not only "beaten", but sometimes "beaten". "We won't beat her, and it will be too late for our opponents to beat her at the Olympics." Having said that, I can kick my legs without my eyes, and occasionally hurt Xiaoyu, which still makes Yang Daiqiang particularly nervous. "Don't hurt her, I'm worried about the power of touching together. It doesn't matter if I get hurt. I can find someone else to accompany her. But if she wants to go to the Olympics to win a gold medal, she can't be hurt. "
Before Yang Daiqiang joined the team, Liu Keng was Xiaoyu's "main guard". The two are fellow villagers in Jingdezhen and come from the same sports school. Liu keng has been with Xiaoyu since childhood, and has been with this girl who is one year older than himself for more than ten years. "I spend more time with her than with my parents. She looked at me and I knew what to do. "
Today, Liu Keng, the former champion of National Youth, is gradually transforming into an assistant coach. During the training, he always held hands and followed Xiaoyu. "The fake action wobbled and turned into a side kick, and then" Weiwei created a force. "See the problem, liu pit pulled a light rain, corrected with gestures. Xiaoyu tried to adjust her movements and kicked Yang Daiqiang. "Hey, this strength is right!" The one who was kicked gave a thumbs-up instead.
Although I don't do it myself, Liu keng is the most dependent person for Xiaoyu. "Help me get water." "Give me the tape." During training, I can always hear Xiaoyu bossing around the new teaching assistant. Liu Keng said that when preparing for the Beijing Olympic Games, he practiced during the day and watched videos at night. When in a bad mood, considerate and careful Liu keng will also give Xiaoyu psychological counseling.
The male players in the Taekwondo Women's Team are destined to be heroes behind the scenes. Liu Keng, who won numerous honors with Xiaoyu, said: "My professional goal is to help Xiaoyu defend her Olympic title. Standing on the podium, she represents not someone, but China Taekwondo, our team. "
